Dual Diagnosis Services

Dual Diagnosis services offer a managed continuum of care designed to provide a comprehensive system of treatment and recovery from co-occurring psychiatric and substance disorders. Co-occurring psychiatric and substance disorders are treated simultaneously with a clear recognition that stabilization/arresting of the addiction is the most immediate concern upon the patient’s entering treatment. Staff are dedicated to providing a thorough evaluation and a direct and focused treatment plan.

While all of our units have the ability to manage patients with co-occurring psychiatric and substance disorders, those with a primary substance disorder diagnosis can only be referred to Arbour Hospital or Arbour-HRI Hospital.

All inpatient dual diagnosis treatment protocols include the use of Subutex, a medication that works to reduce the effects of opioid dependence and prevents withdrawal symptoms, for patients detoxifying from opioid addictions. Arbour Counseling Services in Allston, Brookline, Jamaica Plain, Norwell and Woburn offer Suboxone Treatment Programs.
